Medan energipriserna skjuter i höjden ger Europaparlamentet sitt stöd till åtgärder för att skydda europeiska konsumenter och företag från de allt högre kostnaderna för el- och gasräkningar. Parlamentsledamöterna välkomnade EU-kommissionens förslag om att minska energiefterfrågan och sänka kostnaderna för el samtidigt som man fördelar energibranschens överskottsvinster till kunderna. De bad om fler åtgärder för att skydda de mest sårbara samt små och medelstora företag mot de stigande energipriserna.

During the voting session in the European Parliament on the 5th October 2022, MEPs vote on motions for resolutions on the EU's response to the increase in energy prices in Europe.

Voting session: Motions for resolutions - The EU’s response to the increase in energy prices in Europe

On 19 November 2020, the European Commission published an EU Strategy to harness the potential of offshore renewable energy for a climate neutral future. The Offshore Renewable Strategy was widely anticipated as part of the European Green Deal. The Offshore Renewable Strategy aims to dramatically increase the EU's production of electricity from offshore renewable energy sources from the current 12 gigawatts (GW) to 60GW by 2030 and 300GW by 2050. MEPs say that a net-zero emissions economy requires renewable energy to be deployed on an unprecedented scale. MEPs highlight that the cost of offshore wind has fallen dramatically in the last two decades (declining by 48% between 2010 and 2020), making it one of the most competitively priced sources of energy. This illustrative footage shows regular and aerial drone views of traditional wind energy as well as aerial drone views of an offshore wind energy.

A revision of the Renewable Energy Directive as amended by Parliament’s Industry, Research and Energy Committee would raise the share of renewables in the EU's overall energy consumption to 45% by 2030. Under the proposal, renewables deployment in the transport sector should lead to a 16% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, through the use of higher shares of advanced biofuels and a more ambitious quota for renewable fuels of non-biological origin, like hydrogen. Closing statement by Markus PIEPER (EPP, DE), Rapporteur and Adina VĂLEAN, European Commissioner for Transport.

EU response to the increase in energy prices in Europe: MEPs debate (part 2/3)

Parlamentet håller på att uppdatera reglerna om energieffektivitet för att se till att EU kan nå sitt mål om nettonollutsläpp av växthusgaser innan 2050. Det nya energieffektivitetsdirektivet riktar in sig på energiintensiva sektorer, som den tunga industrin och datacenter. Det uppmuntrar också lokala myndigheter att föregå med gott exempel genom att se till att offentliga byggnader, som skolor och sjukhus, är ordentligt isolerade. Ett projekt som nyligen genomförts i den slovenska huvudstaden Ljubljana har hjälpt till att visa vägen.

Energieffektivitetsdirektivet: "Vi måste vara mer ambitiösa".

On the 14th September 2022, Ursula von der LEYEN, EC President, delivers her State of the European Union (SOTEU) speech in the European Parliament. This infoclip illustrates one of the main stake of the coming year: the rising prices of energy, EU citizens' purchasing power hit by the energy crisis and the concerns around food security, following Russian agression against Ukraine.

Parlamentet håller på att uppdatera reglerna för förnybar energi. Detta kommer att hjälpa EU att uppnå målet om nettonollutsläpp av växthusgaser innan 2050. Men hur kommer framtida projekt för förnybar energi att se ut? Denna innovativa, flytande vindturbin är bara ett av dussintals nya spännande projekt som får EU-stöd.

Stärka sektorn för förnybar energi i Europa

The Industry, Research and Energy Committee will adopt its positions on two draft bills that are part of the “Fit for 55” package to fight climate change. MEPs will vote on new EU targets to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy and increase energy efficiency. The measures would also support the EU’s energy sovereignty and security in the context of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Following the vote, Markus PIEPER (EPP, DE), rapporteur, holds a press conference on the revision of the renewable energy directive.

This infoclip aims to illustrate the inclusion or non-inclusion of gas and nuclear in the list of environmentally sustainable activities covered by the EU taxonomy. The complementary Taxonomy Delegated Act put forward by the Commission on 9 March 2022 proposes the inclusion of specific nuclear and gas energy activities in the list of environmentally sustainable economic activities covered by the EU taxonomy. The Taxonomy regulation is part of the Commission’s action plan on financing sustainable growth and aims to boost green investments. The footage shows the arrival of Liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, household gas consumption in Belgium, and a nuclear plant in Forsmark, Sweden.

Europeiska unionen kommer att upprätta en social klimatfond för att hjälpa medborgare och företag att ställa om till ren energi. Denna åtgärd kommer vid en tidpunkt när unionen jobbar för att utöka sitt system för handel med utsläppsrätter vad gäller byggnader och vägtransporter – en del av ansträngningarna för att nå koldioxidneutralitet till 2050. Parlamentet driver på för ett hållbart avtal, som hjälper utsatta hushåll och tar itu med problemet med energifattigdom. Man vill också hjälpa affärsverksamheter att blir mer energieffektiva.
